paddypowerpoker.com Announces Full Irish Winter Festival 2010 Schedule

DUBLIN, July 28, 2010 /PRNewswire/ --

- Introducing Blind Mans Bluff World Championship & Irish Mythical Championship

paddypowerpoker.com today announces the full Irish Winter Festival 2010 tournament schedule, headlined by the EUR1,500 + EUR150 Irish Masters main event. The festival will take place over October Bank Holiday weekend (22nd - 25th) in the Burlington Hotel, Dublin.

New tournament additions to this festival weekend include a EUR100 + EUR10 Blind Mans Bluff World Championship event, a EUR100 + EUR10 Irish Mythical Championship event and a EUR200 + EUR20 NLH Freezeout side event.

Due to the success of the 2009 Irish Masters Super Satellite, where a massive 50 main event seats were won, the EUR150 + EUR15 NLH Rebuy event will return to the Irish Winter Festival and will once again be held on the eve of the main event. Both the EUR500 + EUR50 NLH Freezeout and EUR300 + EUR30 Round of Each Freezeout side events will also recur at this year's festival due to popular demand.

"The Irish Winter Festival is back in Dublin city centre and it's bigger than ever before. We've got more events for more people at more buy-ins, and have thrown in a heap more entertainment and activities too." said Paddy Power, Communications Manager for paddypowerpoker.com. "We've even added a World Championship event to the proceedings with the new Blind Mans Bluff tournament - so it's the ideal chance to come down to the festival, play some poker, have the craic, and leave a winner."
